Discover the Power of the Divine Feminine through the many faces of the Goddess on this 7 night retreat in the heart of Greece with Cathy Connors & Allie Rae and special musical guest Jaya Lakshmi. Join us and a global tribe of women for an immersive experience into the path of yoga through twice daily asana practice, kriya, ritual offering, meditation, mantra, pranayama and more!
Each morning we will begin with a morning ritual offering (Puja) followed by meditation, mantra, kriya, pranayama and asana practice followed by a delicious organic breakfast buffet. The afternoons will be free for you to lounge by the pool, take a stroll into the nearest village, relax on Aegialis Beach or take advantage of the spa facilities. Lunch will be on your own as we find this is the best for those who want to explore off property. The evenings we'll gather again for another immersive practice plus sacred conversation around the Divine Feminine, Goddesses of the Yoga tradition, Journaling and Sisterhood. Our hope is that you leave feeling full, nourished and connected in the Spirit of Sisterhood.
Defined “the jewel of Amorgos” by its guests, Aegialis Hotel and Spa has well deserved the title thanks to its breathtaking views over the crystal clear bay and the amenity of its location. Standing proudly on the top of a rocky hill, immersed in a green oasis of unspoiled nature, it responds to the guests’ need for rest, peace and tranquility. The warm welcome from the owners and personnel, the high standard of service and the comfort of the facilities all contribute to offering a unique experience of the local authentic life on a Greek island.
Aegialis hotel & spa is the only 5 star hotel in Amorgos Island as a cozy retreat built in the traditional Cycladic architectural style and encircled by two of the most beautiful sandy beaches of the island. The Hotel houses a small world of blue and white buildings set into the hillside, so that all the traditionally-furnished and fully-equipped rooms and suites benefit from the stunning views over the bay and the surrounding islands. All rooms offer amazing views of the Aegean sea and the Aegiali beach. The unique Amorgian hospitality in combination with the Cycladic beauty promises you memories you will always treasure.
Cathy and Allie Rae met in 2012 at a local yoga studio and instantly connected through their love of yoga. In 2014 they travelled to Bhakti Fest together and met their main teachers. Allie met Sianna Sherman and Cathy met Ananda Mehrota. Each have studied extensively with their teachers ever since and it is their greatest joy to share the teachings.
